The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the Nintendo Switch system, will be released in 2025, the company said. In a new promotional video, Nintendo showcases a larger version of the Switch that looks similar to its predecessor. The video also shows the system’s controllers, or Joy-Cons, now attach to the side of the main unit rather than slide in.

It’s finally time: after months of teases and rumors, Nintendo has finally revealed the successor to the Switch. A new console generation is always a big deal, but this is an especially pivotal one for Nintendo.

While the announcement offered limited details, Nintendo confirmed more information will be shared during its April Nintendo Direct event. The company also plans to host "Nintendo Switch 2 Experience" events in major cities, including Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris, starting in April. Registration for these events will open on Friday.
